| BEST TURNTABLE AT COST NO OBJECT Carl well said and not to go off on another tangent (but I will) I for one will not renew my subscription to Stereophile (after 15 years) for exactly that reason. I disagree that it has been only the past 2 years, it has been longer than that. I c... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? I bought a pair of McIntosh 60's stock back in 1991 and still own them. They have been upgraded (modified) since then several times. They now sound much better (less of the traditional tube colorations) than they originally did, different caps and... | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Chesky also has some very good music, want to make it clear that not all of them are bad. Watch out for their original artists, the ones that no other label will take. I suspect Rankin is a rich kid that probably PAID Chesky to make the recording,... | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Too many to mention and life is short enough trying to find the really good music and recordings. I can think of one though on Chesky that really pissed me off because one of Stereophile's yahoo music reviewers, can't remember who and don't want t... | |
| Best musician in the world? Good question Gino | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND And nobody mentions the guys that started it all and yeah I'm familiar with the above choices (someone forgot Poison and Twisted Sister but then again they are forgotton as the rest of the above will be) but come on who could say that anyone of th... | |
| Best loudspeaker on the 3k range??? It's not hard to understand why there are so many loudspeaker manufacturer's judging by the responses above. Now the poor guy is really confused as am I. I sure wish I could listen to all listed so I could really know for myself. I recently acquir... | |
| Best musician in the world? In the early 19th Century Paganni was considered the greatest musical virtuso performer of his time. He thus inspired Franz List who legend has it holed himself and practiced for hours on end to raise the level of virtuosity on the piano to new he... | |
| Best Vanishing speakers Or the ones that did't sound good that you've gotten rid of without losing your tail. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Et Fur Elise is by Beethoven not Chopin. This is a mandatory piece every 4th -5th year piano student must learn. But I agree with you, it is yet another to add to the group. Yes this is a worthwhile post, something we all can share. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Well many of the above pieces would certainly be on my long list but here are a few more that I cherish that aren't - Mozart's K364 Concertina for Violin & Viola (Mozart at his lyrical best) Rimsky Korsakov "Scherazade" 3rd Movement especially... | |
| Bang & Olufsen Speakers Asthetically they are a design statement, your wife should like them. My opinion is they are too expensive for what they offer which is no bass and no soul which is an intangible that will vary from one person to another. If you like the way they ... | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Great Story Cardinal that is funny | |
| Top manufacturers! Hluker It goes to show you that the REAL REASON there are so many manufacturers of audio equipment is that there are so many varying opinions as to sounds good. It isn't an easy journey. The rewards can be great if you are a music lover. If you be... | |
| Top manufacturers! I would agree with the above but Vandersteen and Thiel were left out. These companies have been around a very long time and consistently offer good products. Vandersteen especially offers excellent value for the money spent. ARC also offers cuttin... |
